Be aware that some Black Friday “specials” are a farce.

I’m leering at some of these Black Friday “specials”. I keep very close tabs on what the major online retailers are charging for cameras and lenses and it’s really annoying when they jack the price just to fool you into thinking you’re getting a great Black Friday deal.

Take for instance Adorama’s advertised price for the new Canon 70D with 18-55 STM lens.

This combo has been $1249 forever. Adorama saying it’s reduced from $1749 after $300 rebate and $100 instant savings is a big barrel of BS. So shop wisely folks. I’m sure there are some deals to be had out there, but it’s not this one.
